Blueprint Arranges Skilled Nursing Portfolio Sale

Blueprint Arranges Skilled Nursing Portfolio Sale

A Southeast-based real estate investor acquired four skilled nursing facilities and found two operating partners to take on their management, thanks in large part to Steve Thomes and Trent Gherardini of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors.
